This is the second consecutive season that UMU has eliminated UCU on quarter finals. Last year, UMU went through on an away goal's rule after a 1-1 at Nkozi and 2-2 draw at Mukono.
Bisaso, who was axed from Premier's SC Villa recently, and the community (Nkozi) based fans are optimistic that their side will take the trophy. Last year UMU merged fourth aver-all.
